As founder and president of D.J. Case & Associates, Dave has managed strategic communications and organizational development for more than half of the nation's state fish and wildlife agencies. His clients include federal natural resources agencies and private conservation organizations.

Dave started the company in 1986, building it on the mission: "Using communications to achieve natural resources conservation."

He founded DJ Case to address the tremendous need for communications outreach within the conservation community. He understands the power of carefully constructed outreach to deliver information, change attitudes and attract constituents.

Dave's effectiveness spans communications projects involving sociological, economic and ecological arenas. He worked with Eskimos as they struggled to balance subsistence needs with regulatory issues regarding arctic nesting geese. He helped an international array of farmers and conservationists resolve conflicts to restore North Dakota wetlands.

He is a certified wildlife biologist with The Wildlife Society and past president of the North Central Chapter.
Dave holds a bachelor's in forestry from Purdue University and a master's in wildlife biology from University of Michigan. He has held positions with the National Park Service and Purdue University.
